There are sufficient positive responses to approach the Board of Education for
endorsement to proceed. This most probably will be considered at the March 9th

(home.dacor.net/BGHSband) for
late-breaking news regarding all facets of the BGHS Band, and especially
news about the Scotland trip!

Kroger Gift Certificates
For those of you who shop at Kroger on a regular basis, why not do it with gift
certificates? Here’s how it works: You purchase one or more gift certificates
for $25 each, and use them at any Kroger store just like regular money. You’re
not out anything and 5% of the sale of each certificate purchased can be applied
to individual trip accounts. Everybody wins.
Certificates may be purchased at the Deutschman residence, 911 N. Wintergarden, at
the following regularly scheduled times:
Wednesdays, 6:30-7:30 pm
Saturdays, 10:00-11:00 am
This is a fundraiser that is easy on your pocketbook. So don't wait, start
earning money today!
